Lyrics - Burns (1788)
I ha'e a wife o' my ain,
I'll partake wi' naebody,
I'll tak cuckold frae nane,
I'll gi'e cuckold tae naebody.
I ha'e a penny tae spend,
There, thanks tae naebody,
I ha'e naething tae lend,
I'll borrow frae naebody.
I am naebody's lord,
I'll be slave tae naebody;
I ha'e a guid broad sword,
I'll tak' dunts frae naebody,
I'll be merry and free,
I'll be sad for naebody,
If naebody cares for me,
I'll care for naebody.
